Antique Deep Green Glazed Wine or Water Jug - 12½"

This deep green glazed jug dates to the late nineteenth century and is likely from Southwestern France. The glossy surface reveals subtle variations in tone, while the potter’s rings encircling the form add a quiet sense of rhythm. Its gently uneven profile and slightly askew curves further reflect its handmade origin, giving the piece an appealing authenticity and a lively presence that only hand thrown vessels possess. One particularly charming detail is the handle, whose elegant curve continues seamlessly onto the shoulder of the jug, creating a graceful line that enhances its sculptural presence.

Displayed on a kitchen shelf, dining table, or sideboard, this jug brings warmth and authenticity to any interior. It can be used to hold fresh flowers, dried branches, or simply as a decorative accent that celebrates traditional craftsmanship. Its deep green glaze pairs beautifully with natural wood, ceramics, and textiles, introducing a soft, earthy accent that enhances both rustic and contemporary spaces.
